INTRODUCTION. 


J^IkE a song without words, so may history be written. Indeed, a few 
sheets of the simple music known as the “ Songs of the War” awaken 
a better memory of that struggle, and would more fitly open this work, than 
anything which may otherwise be said. 


The chief, if not the only worth in a tale of great deeds, is truth, and this 
cannot be told either to the ear, or in print, so that all of it may be held at 
once in the mind, fully and exactly. Words can only show things one after 
another, and some that are but parts of a whole are forgotten or crowded out, 
before the rest can be brought forward. Add to this, that no one man can 
see or know all that may happen at the same time, touching any large matter, 
and that no two can look from the same view-point at the same time, and so 
can see nothing in quite the same way, that the same words do not mean the 
same thing to all men, and that most men are apt to be biased in what they 
have any will to say, and it must be yielded, that “ the art preservative,” is not 
always, if ever, the art of truth. This last art belongs to the camera alone, 
whose swift, straight and nice pencils of light, write with the exact science of 
chemical reactions. 

In the beginning, photography was only a portrait painter, but with the 
instantaneous process, a new historian was born. The art has hitherto been 
too young for this to be enough thought of, but in the work now offered, it 
makes claim of right to its higher office, for it has found a worthy subject. 

History busies itself with republics. The activities and men of free 
governments, have filled the days of time, and it is as if the world had slept 
under despotisms, as through the lapse of night. Of republics, there have 
been two great examples in modern times—the first French one, and our own. 

Saving always the name of George Washington, from comparison with 


any other, it may also be said, that the renown of two men for civil rule of a 
high order and chieftaincy in war of the highest, filled the most of the century, 
closing with the death of General Grant;—his own in the last half of it, and 
that of Napoleon Bonaparte, in the first half. The men were not equal nor 
alike, for measured by results, the end of one at St. Helena, the republic that 
formed him lost by his own hand and nothing done to endure, forbid, that he 
should be praised for great good-sense, good citizenship or success, all of 
which, unstinted, must be accorded to Grant. 

When Grant was dead, instantaneous photography had become quite 
common, and many adepts wished by this means, to take and keep the solemn 
grandeur of the funeral rites. To do this at Riverside Park, was an exclusive 
privilege, and was allowed to but one man. He was an artist, and seemed 
always to catch the supreme moment, in which to fix the action. One can yet 
see in his pictures the very flash of the cannons as their deep voice shook the 
earth and air and bade good-bye and again good-bye ” to a nation's hero. 

Like work was done elsewhere by many hands and afterwards, a company 
was formed, to buy up all these negatives, and all others that could be found of 
or touching scenes in the life of the General. More than a thousand of such 
originals, v r ere thus brought together, at a cost of over two hundred thousand 
dollars and some years of labor. These plates are history; they not only show 
the manner of him, who was the foremost man of his time in the greatest re¬ 
public of all time, but there are also shown his companions, the arms and 
enginery of w r ar, the arts of peace, and even details of fashion and customs, 
which no mere writer would think to note. In short, the civilization of an age 
is, in one way and another, grouped around its central figure and photographed, 
and that too, in vivid scenes, of a whole people moved by deep feeling. 





So much of exact truth of, or surrounding anyone else in history, cannot 
be reproduced, nor is there now living, and may not be for many years to 
come, another nucleus worthy of a like collection. 

What this store will be worth two thousand years hence, it would be hard 
to say. What we would give to see Mark Antony at Caesar’s funeral were 
more easily come at. 

The space that any time or man may fill, is less as it is distant, and as the 
span of knowledge widens. Two thousand years from now, nobody will have 
time to read Grant’s Memoirs, even if the books shall be translated into the 
better and universal tongue and type, that then expresses human thought; but 
these impressions from life would rescue then their subject from the fullness 
of the forgotten, more than could a pyramid or library', for they 7 tell more than 
the former and in less time than the latter. There is in them, more of the 
immortality of fame for General Grant, than in all that now can otherwise be 
built or spoken. 

At first, it was meant to use them in trade, but when they were brought 
to the knowledge of the Committee of the Grant Monument Association, with 
a plan to make them the means of raising money for the monument, their 
worth to that end was at once seen, and the Committee agreed to enter into a 
contract with the owners so to use them, and that then some safe place

I 




should be made in the monument, wherein to keep them for all time, it was 
learned, however, that the corporate powers of the Association were not broad 
enough for this, and before that defect could be cured, the ownership of the 
pictures was thrown into the doubt of a lawsuit, from w 7 hich the title has but 
lately 7 been freed. 

The scope of this work, in brief, covers the time between the last Congress 
before the war of the rebellion, and the entombment at Riverside Park. 

It illustrates both the civil and military career of its subject. 

In the latter, the series of Grant’s commissions from the rank of Second 
Lieutenant to that of General which was created for him, all won in active 
service, proves his right to place amongst the foremost few of great commanders. 

His election and re-election to the Presidency of the United States, crowns 
the duties of his good citizenship. 

The gifts and welcomes of the world, show the breadth of the esteem in 
which he was held, and the grief of the people at his loss, left no doubt of 
their love for him. 

The evidence of such facts as these, set forth in scenes of interest in them¬ 
selves, make his pictorial biography 7 , and much of the most thrilling chapter 
in the records of the republic. This is our offering—an everlasting wreath of 
art to fame.

THIS IS THE LAST PICTURE TAKEN OF GENERAL GRANT. copyright iew by william h. allen. 

JUST FOUR DAYS BEFORE HIS DEATH, THE NINETEENTH OF JULY; THE GENERAL PASSING AWAY ON THE MORNING OF THE TWENTY-THIRD OF JULY, 1885. 

This picture was taken without any preparation of the General, and without his knowledge, and it occurred quite unexpectedly to our artist, who boarded at the Mt. McGregor 
Hotel, distant about a hundred yards from the Grant Cottage. On the morning on which this picture was taken, our artist came out the back way of the hotel, with his camera, 
intending to take some scenery of the woods close by. When getting on the ground, to his agreeable surprise he saw the General come out of the Cottage door and seat himself in 
his easy-chair, on the porch, and commence to read a newspaper. The distance was great for a little camera to reach, but quick as thought he brought it to bear on the Cottage porch, 
and this photograph is the result; for the first time, the old soldier, who has restored this Union forever, is seen with his eye glasses on reading a newspaper. Our artist had taken the 
old nero several times before, by his permission, but it was in family groups and in constrained and unnatural positions, knowing he was being taken for posterity, or to oblige warm 
friends ; but when this last view of the great man was snatched from him, he was unaware of it, and it looks very natural, indeed, and shows the simplicity of the man more than 
volumes of writing could do. Harrison, the faithful nurse in the doorway.

Note. — This Commission was signed by “Jefferson Davis,” as “Secretary of War,” who little thought, at that time, that afterward, 
as President of the Confederate States of America, he would witness the surrender of his army to this captain as the General com¬ 
manding the armies of the United States, and only about eleven years after its date.

GENERAL GRANT’S LAST DAYS. 

Incidents of His visit to tlie Eastern Ontloolc Summer-House 


r)R. DOUGLAS, Grant's 
faithful physician, 
says: “ It was Gen. Grant’s 
own suggestion, made a 
few days before his death, 
that he should go to the 
Easte. n Outlook Summer- 
House to take in the grand 
view ot the twenty-mile out¬ 
look before he became too 
weak to be carried there. 
He ha 1 < >ften talked ot tak¬ 
ing this trip, and although 
the distance was not more 
than five hundred yards 
from his cottage, it seemed 
a wonderful feat to under¬ 


take in his weak state—be¬ 
fore he did take it. He 
was so well posted on his 
physical condition, that he 
knew very well that it could 
not possibly make any dif¬ 
ference to him whether he 
was over-fatigued by this 
trip to the lookout or not 
He vearned as onlv a sick 
man can, to see this grand 
sight of the outlook before 
he left us forever. Grant 
had known his time on 
earth was short from the 
time he wrote me the 
private letter, and be^^ging 
me to keep its contents a 
secret from his family till 
after the end. He knew 


just as well as his physi¬ 
cians did. that his strength 
was giving out and his 
flesh wasting away, for at 
this time he weighed but 
little more than one hun¬ 
dred pounds. He had 
heard his family so often 
talk of this outlook that 
he determined to see !t 
for himself before he died, 
and after he had finally 
reached the summer¬ 
house, his gaze eastward 
was so intense and fixed 
that it seemed as if the 
hero would have liked to 
have passed from that 
gaze into the unknown 
beyond. Indeed, he had 
to be urged that it was 
time for him to return 
home again before he 
would use his great will¬ 
power to leave that spot 
and go back to his cot¬ 
tage. Some of his family 
thought at first it precip¬ 
itated his death, out all 



now know that it did not, 
for he was very weak be¬ 
fore he took the trip, and 
to deny him this last boon 
would have been cruel in¬ 
deed. The pleasure this 
view gave the dying Gen¬ 
eral was great, and all 
were glad his wish had 
been granted.” Dr. Doug¬ 
las accompanied the party 
on that trip, and had no 
misgivings about the hero 
coming through it alive, 
except for a few moments, 
and this was when the 
party had reached a point 
in the pathway so rugged, 
that finding it an impossi¬ 
bility to carry him further 
without his getting out of 
the bath-chair and trying 
to walk a few yards alone, 
which effort so fatigued 
him that when he again 
took the chair, and was 
being pushed up a steep 
pathway, the color left his 
face, and for an instant a 
deathly pallor went all over 
his features, and he was 
supposed to be quietly 
passing away; but in a 
few seconds, to the great 
joy of all, the color re¬ 
turned to the old hero's 
face, and the family 
breathed freely again in 
heartfelt gratitude that he 
had rallied to life again, 
as he had so often rallied 
his troops to renewed ef¬ 
forts on the battle-field to 
try once more to win the 
day for the glorious Union. 
On the return trip Dr. 
Douglas says he had no 
fear or anxiety for the Gen¬ 
eral until he entered the 
parlor of the cottage, when 
the moment he entered in 
he sank into his favorite 
chair completely exhaust¬ 
ed. This was very un¬ 
usual for him to do, and 
occasioned much anxiety 
on the part of his family; 
but in a little while he re¬ 
covered himself, and it 
was not till the afternoon 
of the next day that un¬ 
favorable symptoms set 
in and continued till he 
died, on the morning of 
July 23, 1885.

ADDRESS TO GENERAL GRANT, 























VIEW OF THE NEW TOITB AT RIVERSIDE PARK, 

The Permanent Resting Place of General Grant. 


Shortly after General Grant’s death, in 1885, the “ Grant Monument Association ” was formed, and about $150,000 was collected, while his death was fresh in the mirids of the people and the hearts 
were touched by sympathy. Nothing more was done until the spring of 1892, when Gen. Horace Porter, an ex-member of General Grant’s staff, consented to accept the presidency of the Association 
Four hundred thousand dollars more money was required to construct the monumental tomb at Riverside Park. General Porter organized a plan for the collection of this money, and between April 1 and 
Decoration Day (May 30), of the same year, 1892, he had succeeded in raising the entire amount. The total number of subscribers, whose names were furnished, was 17,118. The number of separate 
coins, bills, and checks dropped in the memorial contribution boxes, placed throughout the city, was 47,670, representing, probably, about the number of contributors. The total number of contributors to 
the fund may, therefore, be stated at 64,788. The individual amounts received ranged from one cent to $5,000. So thoroughly were the amounts subscribed upon the subscription books collected, that the 
difference between the subscriptions and the actual cash received from them was less than $400. It is expected that the tomb, as shown in this view, will be completed about June 1, 1896. There is no 
doubt but that the entire sum secured, $550,000, is the largest ever raised for any similar purpose by voluntary contributions.
